I, Cop-Basher

Nice hit piece on law enforcement, way to keep the anti cop rhetoric going. [More]
Yeah, I obviously made all this up. And decrying corruption, criminal acts and dangerous negligence on the part of government employees is a "hit piece" and "anti cop."

Sounds like somebody's taking things personally. Have I got a shirt for him.

I worked for a highly-regulated private sector company  -- with @3,000 employees in my "whole division" -- and we had 0 full-time "internal affairs" investigators. Corporate, internal, customer and regulatory audits, along with comprehensive compliance systems and procedures (guess who was responsible for those) allowed for operations to be conducted just fine, and in my 16 years there, we never had an employee arrested for, let alone convicted of illegal business practices. (They did get big enough for HR to hire an Ethics Manager, primarily out of fear of EEO lawsuits from disgruntled low-performers reacting to a write-up, but when lean times hit they decided employees weren't pilfering enough #2 pencils from Office Supply Stores to make the position worth keeping.)

Hothead here says they need "a whole division of IA to help clean it out" and neither the contradiction of that admission nor the irony of it seems to register.

My "needlepoint" consists of pointing at and needling those who deserve it. Like you, "Jambo."

Cops are such a delicate, easily offended gang. How dare you hurt their widdle feewin's by not falling to your knees in worship.

More cops to fix the problem is like putting more gum in your hair to get out all the gum.
